Muddy George

Muddy George is an independent men's clothing boutique in Toronto's Bloorcourt Village, opened in 2015 by Altaf Baksh, a former HR analyst with no prior retail background. The roughly 800-square-foot shop at 973 Bloor Street West carries a tightly edited mix of Canadian labels alongside makers from Japan, the United States and Portugal, leaning casual-contemporary: flannel and oxford shirting, knitwear, chinos, outerwear, leather goods and bags. The name references Toronto's "Muddy York" nickname and a childhood nickname from Baksh's mother. Online ordering runs through the store's own site.
